Toy Drive: Crocheting items for boys?

[CrochetAmore]

I'm currently crocheting some things for KristieMN's toy drive. I know that it's hard to find patterns for toy items for boys. I've made a few bookmarks: a dinosaur, a frog, a gecko, and a dragon... but I really wanted to do some 3-d toy items as well. Does anyone have any suggestions??

This is a pattern for sale, but I think it would be great for boys!

This is perfect, just what I had in mind. I know there is always a shortage on boys items. Especially for the older age groups. Thank you for posting!

I made this frog with flies to practice counting for my cousins boy. She said all of her kids loved it and that it was quite a hit with boys and girls.

It wasn't a hard pattern and worked up pretty quickly.

Wow, you have really given me some great ideas. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are just too adorable! My adult daughter would even love to receive those! LOL She used to watch the show all the time when she was youger. The Ratatouille looks just like the cartoon! Thanks!!

I can't imagine a little boy who wouldn't love to get this! The flies are so cute, and perfect for a frog bookmark I made... I think I'm gonna make one and sew it onto the toungue! LOL Thanks!

When I crochet for my daughters school, frogs, snakes, turtles, and bats are the boys favorites....go figure!

 

I have seen a free bat pattern somewhere on the web too.... if I find it, i will post the link!

 

Thanks!

[Momcrochets]

checker boards would be another idea...I know some have been posted here as show and tell...and it's in CPAD 2006, Jan 1. http://www.midnightknitter.com/knitpixiepatterns/uploads/mini_checkerboard.htm

DS enjoys his (I made it in MI colors (Big 10 football, go blue!) maize and blue) of course, traditional red and black work also.

 

There's a mancala game board out there, if you can find it. It was a JPfun free daily pattern. I didn't see it in the free patterns on that site just now though. sorry.

I made my son the cats from Lion brand. He loves them. I also bought the pattern for the vroomies and they are sooooooo cute. I made the big spaceship too. It's very easy to make.
